[BNW] Go-go-gadget.....

["William Davis" <williamjdavis@hotmail.com>]

Has anyone else noticed the complete and utter miss in the gadgeteer limit 
of 3 gadgets. (cause he just couldn't upkeep them as the book states). What 
a load a'malarkey.
The book: 1 gadget maintenance=1hour, get two "repaired"=16 hours. See only 
7 hours left in the day, and you gotta sleep...


Umm, How about: maintenance=1 hour, get two running= 16 hours. Sleep 7 
hours. NEXT DAY: (those do happen you know) maintenance= 3hours (for your 3 
current gadgets), hmmm 21 hours left until maintenance time, oh, what to do? 
Hmm, 8 hours on a new gadget. 13 hours left, hmmm do I want to crimp sleep? 
nah, we'll catch a movie and play with some of our toys... 13 hours later. 
THIRD DAY (it's something call TIME PASSING): 4 hours maintenance (now 
having 4 gadgets), 8 hours to set up a new gadget, 12 hours left, nah don't 
feel like crimping sleep, let's go play with our new toys....

As you can see, a gadgeteer can easily set-up and maintain 8 or so gadgets 
witout EVER going short on sleep. (the last gadget day, would be 7 hours 
maintenance, 8 hours new gadget, leaving 9 for sleep). From then on it is 8 
hours of maintenance with 8 hours to "delta" and 8 hours to sleep.....

Something about that whole package is just wrong. I mean, it would take at 
least 1 gadgeteer PER Delta Prime squad just to maintain the armageddon 
suits. (that's allowing for 1 extra suit so there is no down time) Are 
Deltas REALLY that common. Think about it, an A-suit is a gadget. WHERE ARE 
ALL THE DP Gadgeteers? (big hole in the world design!!!!!!) What an easy way 
to neutralize the DP in your area. Wet the gadgeteer. (or in the lovey dovey 
worlds, bribe/blackmail or turn him). I mean the book does SAY it is 
relatively EASY to track down registered Deltas. I guess this is ANOTHER 
thing I will have to patch. Can't just make the Gadgeteers harder to track 
down.... Maybe, have them "officially" listed as someother power.... Oh, 
wait, what's a "Flyer" doing working 16 hours a day in the DP motorpool? 
AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHGHGHGHG.  I'll think of something
